Have you always wanted to compose but don't know where to start? These new creative composing classes could be for you...

The informal and practical classes will enable you to explore and develop your ideas in a relaxed group setting. Composition novices: do not panic! Regular ice-breaking warm-ups and group activities will introduce you to the important elements of music and you will be shown different methods for generating ideas, and techniques for developing them. You will be able to work at your own speed with one-to-one support as you progress and write your own pieces.

No previous composing experience is required, or formal music qualifications necessary; just an open mind and a desire to experiment with sound! However, it is expected that participants will bring instruments (or use their voice) and be prepared to join in with group activities and performances, whatever their ability.
